>
> 1. FEATURES: Midgard already comes with a bunch of nice features.
> However, our customers request more functionality. In particular
>
> A) a workflow process with several people approving a piece
> of content before it becomes visible on the site including a
> release/unrelease function
Can be accomplishe by adding extendable record fields to articles
(parameters).
> B) a version history with the ability to undo changes
Planned for the upcoming version. There are ways to do it with the current
release which require more help from the actual web application.
> C) storing binary files (images, pdf's etc.) within the content management
> system rather than having the web server dealing with binary
> files
Allready in the beta.
> D) staging/testing area as a private invisible version of the site to
> become published or discarded at a later point in time
Can be done to some extent n the current version but requires
application-level logic. We're looking at intergrating this feature in the
upcoming version.
> 2. NEW RELEASE: Currently we are doing our testing with the
> MadKing release 1.2.5. On your webpage I learned there was a
> version 2.0 (addressing some of the feature issues) meant to be
> released in the first quarter of 2000! What's up with that? Does
> this version already exist? When do you expect it to be released?
Work on 2.0 has been restarted, but only recently. We're looking at having
the design don in fall 2000, with a protoype (nowhere near production
stuff though).
> 3. DOCUMENTATION: Besides the Midgard webpage itself is there
> any other place in the web where we can get further documentation on
> the Midgard system?
No. But Aurora (http://www.aurora-linux.com/) has recently hired a
full-time document author to help us get the manual to a good level.
> 4. SOURCE CODE: We are also considering adding functionality to
> the Midgard system by modifying the source or adding code. Where
> can we download the Midgard source code?
Depends on which version you want. The latest beta can be found at
http://www.midgard-project.org/topic/214.html, the CVS instructions at
